Solution Overview
Problem
Existing organic and inorganic light-emitting bodies face challenges such as low color purity, high production costs, and difficulties in controlling quantum dot size, hole injection, and exciton quenching, necessitating a new type of light-emitting body that addresses these issues.
Innovation Solution
A core-shell structured organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body is developed, where a shell with a wider band gap surrounds a core, confining excitons and enhancing durability and emission efficiency by preventing thermal ionization and delocalization of charge carriers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If inorganic quantum dots are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but quantum dot size control becomes difficult and hole injection barrier increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material composition parameters by using organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials with specific halide compositions (Cl, Br, I) and organic cations (MA, FA, OA) to achieve high color purity while maintaining controllable nanocrystal sizes through compositional tuning rather than relying solely on size control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials that combine the advantages of both organic and inorganic materials, achieving high color purity through the inorganic halide component while the organic component provides easier processing and size control capabilities
2Illumination intensity
If inorganic quantum dots are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but hole injection becomes difficult due to high hole injection barrier
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the energy level parameters by selecting organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials with appropriate HOMO levels that match the hole injection layer, thereby reducing the hole injection barrier while maintaining high color purity through the inorganic halide component
Solution Approach 2:
The organic component in the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite acts as an intermediary that facilitates hole injection from the organic hole injection layer, bridging the energy level mismatch that would otherwise exist with purely inorganic quantum dots
3Power
If organic light-emitting bodies are used to achieve high efficiency, then emission efficiency is improved, but color purity is low due to broad spectrum emission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses composite organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials where the inorganic halide component (PbX3) provides narrow bandgap and high color purity emission, while the organic component (RNH3) maintains the material's processability and high emission efficiency characteristics
4Illumination intensity
If perovskite nanocrystals are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but exciton quenching occurs reducing emission efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies organic ligand shells (such as oleic acid, oleylamine, and their derivatives) around the perovskite nanocrystal cores to passivate surface defects and prevent exciton quenching, thereby maintaining high emission efficiency while preserving the high color purity of the nanocrystal core
Solution Approach 2:
The organic ligands act as intermediary layers between the inorganic perovskite core and the external environment, preventing harmful interactions that would cause exciton quenching while allowing beneficial optical and electrical interactions to proceed
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The core-shell structure achieves high color purity and improved emission efficiency by confining excitons in the core, increasing exciton binding energy and durability, while maintaining stability at room temperature.
Implementation Method 1
a shell with a wider band gap surrounds a core, confining excitons and enhancing durability and emission efficiency by preventing thermal ionization and delocalization of charge carriers
Implementation Method 2
due to a large difference in dielectric constant between the inorganic material and the organic material (corganic≈2.4, cinorganic≈6.1), excitons are confined in the inorganic layer

AI summary
Provided are a core-shell structured perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body, a method of preparing the same, and a light emitting device using the same. The core-shell structured organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body or metal halide perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body is able to be dispersed in an organic solvent, and has a perovskite nanocrystal structure and a core-shell structured nanocrystalline particle structure. Therefore, in the perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body of the present invention, as a shell is formed of a substance having a wider band gap than that of a core, excitons may be more dominantly confined in the core, and durability of the nanocrystal may be improved to prevent exposure of the core perovskite to the air using a perovskite or inorganic semiconductor, which is stable in the air, or an organic polymer.
